I'm voting for Rainwater. I'd rather risk a Dem governor for 4 years if it sends a message to the state GOP to stop nominating squishy RINOs. Voting for whoever the party puts up is how you end up with a party full of spineless establishment politicians who have zero motivation to represent...
Yeah... Trust me, y'all aren't my only source of wisdom. I've done reading and research on the subject periodically over the past few years. Just saw the thread and thought I'd jump in and get some opinions/advice.
Right now I'm more scared of people's reactions to the Ch*na Virus than I am of...
Hmm interesting. Solid advice. For some more perspective, I was thinking that I would start with between $5-10k. Enough that (in my mind) a quick rebound to previous highs would be a nice ROI, but not so much that a prolonged recovery or even continued decline would be devastating. (Granted. If...
I am debt free, and would keep at least 6 months expenses liquid. Agree that we don't know for sure that a sharp recovery is certain. I guess that I have been sitting on the sidelines while the stock market has soared since '15-'16ish and I've been regretting not getting on that ride back then...
I hope for the sake of those who get are sick, and for the sake of the US economy that you are wrong, and that the sickness has peaked and the economy has bottomed out!
I have heard many times that you shouldn't try to time the market, but I also don't want to miss an opportunity to buy in while everything is "on sale". Of course, I was much more optimistic that the virus reaction over excessive and that there would be a quick recovery than I am now.
I will...
I have a question for the INGO ExpertsTM.
Do y'all think the market has bottomed out yet? I'm thinking about putting some of my cash into mutual funds in anticipation of a V-shaped recovery, depending on how thing go over the next week or so. I am planning to buy and hold, not really trying to...
I haven't read all 71 pages, so forgive me if this has been addressed...
But when can we expect Trump/McConnell's judges to start overturning some of these laws?
Yup. My biggest concern about Trump prior to the election was the fact that he is not a principled conservative.
For the most part Trump has actually governed as a fairly conservative President, more so than someone like GWB. As a result I have gotten on board the MAGA train, but Trump still...
It really burns my biscuits when Trump does stuff like this. There was zero reason to push for a bumpstock ban. Vegas has faded from memory, all this does is signal to his base that he is squishy...
And the worst part is that the precedent this sets is a huge slippery slope that will be used to...
"Hang on, Mr. Burg'ler, I must retrieve my HD gun from my safe before you can break in."
Except, in this case the weapons WERE locked up, so the proposed law wouldn't accomplish anything anyway. It's a terrible thing that happened, but we need to stop withe knee-jerk infringement laws.
The...
We laugh at her now, but she and those like her are dragging the Democrat party so far to the left, that there will be hell to pay when the D's are the majority party again.
Edit: People like Hillary, Schumer, and Pelosi are now the moderates inside the Democrat Party. Think about that for a...
